5 Rules

Don't Do it Yourself
My Selling Smarter Takeaway: Expand your network, get out there and meet others. Ask friends and colleagues for help and introductions. Networking is still the most powerful way to grow your sales.

Upbeat Beats Downbeat
My Selling Smarter Takeaway: Sales can be challenging, especially in today's economy. Surround yourself with motivating people and positive influences. Read books, listen to audio downloads, stay educated. Keep a success journal of all the positive things that have happened in your sales career. Consistently work on staying positive and upbeat no matter what happens.
